The Alpha Holster for S&W M&P is DSG’s workhorse - our full-size outside-waistband holster OWB for daily duty and training use. Built pancake style and molded to the body for comfort and concealment, the Alpha Holster is constructed of virtually indestructible .093 Kydex 100 rather than the .080 industry standard. That just means it’s slightly thicker and more scratch resistant than most holsters. The Alpha Holster was designed for hard use and all-day-long comfort, proven by members of the US Law Enforcement, Military, and Border Patrol as well as the Texas Rangers and citizens all over North America.
